Edge Guide for Hitachi KM12VC Router
Hi Folks --
I have a Hitachi KM12VC and I need an edge guide. I'd really appreciate any input on which edge guide is the best for my router and where to get the best price. Thanks! WheelsNT |

Edge Guide for Hitachi KM12VC Router
While I suspect you can buy one on the open market,
most router guides can be shop made with little trouble. After all, it's usually just a couple of steel rods and a wooden base.... Snoop around here for examples: http://www.patwarner.com/double_edge_guide.html WheelsNT wrote: Hi Folks -- I have a Hitachi KM12VC and I need an edge guide.

Edge Guide for Hitachi KM12VC Router
Thanks for the encouragement, but I have a buncha projects on the fire
right now, so I don't have time to make my own edge guide. Can anyone confirm that the PC edge guide fits this router? Or, perhaps, point me at one that does? Thanks so much!!

Edge Guide for Hitachi KM12VC Router
There is no mention of a edge guide on their web site.
http://www.hitachipowertools.com/sto...h=1,12,61,p214, Have you tried measuring the holes in the base and matching them with the PC edge guide ??? http://www.porter-cable.com/index.asp?e=3399&p=3825 WheelsNT wrote: Thanks for the encouragement, but I have a buncha projects on the fire right now, so I don't have time to make my own edge guide.

That would be my suggestion. Nice guy, very knowledgeable and helpful. If
you end up buying one from him, you won't be disappointed. I don't own one of his edge guides but I do have a couple of his base plates and have seen some of his other products. Top of the line workmanship in all. "Enoch Root" wrote in message ... You might try emailing Pat Warner. |

Edge Guide for Hitachi KM12VC Router
I purchased the Porter Cable 42690 edge guide this weekend. It does,
indeed, fit the KM12VC and is a very nice, solid, piece of craftmanship. From the picture of the Hitachi edge guide in my manual, I believe the Porter Cable will be a far superior product to the Hitachi guide, if they were to ever actually sell it (I've had one on order since February, but I cancelled that order yesterday)!
